IT asset management
IT Asset Management
The purpose of the IT Asset Management practice is to manage an IT asset’s life cycle, encompassing every phase from procurement to retirement. An IT asset is any valuable component that can contribute to the delivery of an IT product or service. Examples include laptops, desktops, network gear, storage area network (SAN), and Internet of Things (IoT). The practice focuses on the end-to-end tracking and maintenance of IT assets within a centralized database, which helps organizations make informed decisions and allocate strategic assets.
